Certain lines that make you sad

[VWguy]

"it was a young man named Private Andrew Malone, who fought for his country and never made it home..." Riding with Private Malone - David Ball

[VWguy]

One Friday night at a football game,
The Lord's Prayer said, and the anthem sang,
A man said: "Folks would you bow your head,
"For the list of local Vietnam dead."
Cryin' all alone under the stands,
Was the piccolo player in the marching band.
And one name read and nobody really cared,
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair.

Traveling Soldier - Dixie Chicks

Powerful song.

Abso-fucking-lutely true. "Leon Russell" and "Carney" are outstanding.

I'm not talking about whole songs just the odd line in a certain song that affects you when you hear it...for example...

"The moon just went behind the clouds to hide it's face and cry"-----"I'm so lonesome I could cry" by Hank Williams
...
Any other suggestions?

... i'm a little bit country ... very, very, very little ... actually, i really don't like country music, but there was always 1 song that my family (who love country) listened to that i grew to love... & you named it ... "i'm so lonesome i could cry" ... that is one song (among others), that really gets to me... especially if i'm feeling lonely, or in a moody mood, for some other reason. & it's funny, because, this morning, we got snow flurries (can you believe it??? argh!!!)!!! & the robins were all fluffed up, under some trees outside, trying to keep warm, & i was just watching them, feeling sad for them ... & the words to this song came to mind, again ... & i know you asked for just a line in a song that affects me, when i hear it ... well, i just gotta say that every single line in this short little song, affects moody me ... yup, each line ...

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the will to live,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Cure, The
Pornography (1982)
Siamese Twins

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours
The first kiss

We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart

The walls and the ceiling move in time
Push a blade into my hands
Slowly up the stairs
And into the room
Is it always like this?

Dancing in my pocket
Worms eat my skin
She glows and grows
With arms outstretched
Her legs around me

In the morning I cried

Leave me to die
You won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk
We never smile
I scream
You're nothing
I don't need you anymore
You're nothing

It fades and spins...

Singing out loud
We all die
Laughing into the fire

Is it always like this?

Brandy - Have You Ever

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever

Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You'd do anything to look in their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care

What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta do to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep


this song = instant
emotional ? moi?

[Ðiego]

'Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they did not know how --
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they did not know how --
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you
But still, your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do --
But I could've told you, Vincent:
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you.

Starry, Starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they're not listening still --
Perhaps they never will..'

- Don Mclean, Vincent (van Gogh)

ANGIE - Rolling Stones
Angie, Angie, when will those clouds all disappear
Angie, Angie where will it lead us from here
With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried

Angie, you're beautiful, but aint it time we said goodbye
Angie, I still love you, remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams we held so close seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie, where will it lead us from here
Oh, Angie, don't you weep, all your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, Angie, ain't it time we said goodbye

With no loving in our souls and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, I still love you baby, ev'rywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you, come on baby, dry your eyes

But Angie, Angie, ain't it good to be alive
Angie, Angie, they can't say we never tried

...bringing up angie made me think of this other stones song that always got to me ... "out of tears" ... (& it's kinda weird, cuz Rickio & i were just talking about these very songs) ...

I can't feel feel a thing
I can't shout I can't scream
Breathe it out breathe it in
All this love from within

I won't cry when you say goodbye
I'm out of tears
I won't die when you wave goodbye
I'm out of tears out of tears

I won't drink I won't eat
I can't hear I won't speak
Let it out let it in

All this pain from within
And I just can't pour my heart out
To another living thing
I'm a whisper I'm a shadow
But I'm standing up to sing

I won't cry when you say goodbye
I'm out of tears
I won't die when you wave goodbye
I'm out of tears
yes I am
I won't cry
I swear my eyes are dry
I'm out of tears
I won't cry
I'm going to tell you why
I'm out of tears out of tears out of tears

Let it out from within
Some you lose some you win
I can drift I can dream
Til I float off your screen
And I just can't pore my heart out
To another living thing
I'm a whisper I'm a shadow
But I'm standing up to sing

I won't cry when you say goodbye
I'm out of tears
I won't die when you wave goodbye
I'm out of tears out of tears
I won't cry
I swear my eyes are dry
I'm out of tears out of tears
I won't cry
going to tell you why
I'm out of tears out of tears
Out of tears

[KurtCocain]

Pretty much all of the HIM songs. they are cool but tooooo depressing for me. I quit listenig to them a long time ago. I am deporessed enough even without listeing to them.

[Jadesun]

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away


This is one song that I find very difficult to listen to without getting teary eyed...
